Kobe Gakuin University

1. 1

   The short answer

   Kobe Gakuin University is a co-educational university in Kobe, Japan, with three campuses across the city. It suits students who want a university in western Japan and are comfortable checking programme details directly with the institution.

2. 2

   What you can study

   The institution is a university, but no subject areas or programme titles are listed here. The programme catalogue is still being compiled, so confirm the available degrees and fields of study on the official website before applying.

3. 3

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the website for entry requirements, documents, deadlines, and any programme-specific steps. The university’s site should also be used to confirm whether there are entrance examinations, language requirements, and how to submit an application from abroad.

4. 4

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Kobe will depend on your housing, transport, and daily spending, so check local expenses before you commit.

5. 5

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not published, so confirm that first if you are applying from abroad. Also check visa support, whether your chosen programme accepts international applicants, how classes are split across the three Kobe campuses, and what documents you need to submit from your home country.

   How it compares

   There are 571 universities in Japan, so Kobe Gakuin University sits within a very large higher-education system. Its main distinguishing points are its three campuses in Kobe and its location in Hyōgo Prefecture, which may suit students who want a university based in that part of Japan rather than a larger national centre elsewhere.
